Why getting a linksys WRT54GL wireless router is a good idea...

Basically, the WRT54G router is now on the 8th revision of the hardware and has had it's software updated since it was made. For example the current software set can have its web management software secured with SSL and supports WPA/WPA2, concepts that didn't exist when they started making the model.

Also if you need to do something really special you can remove the stock firmware and replace it with OpenWRT linux, almost limitlessly configurable. One point: the linux compatible version is sold separately these days as the WRT54GL
